Manipulating traditional fashion staples, she presented a pretty trench coat featuring viscose inserts in a tweed pattern and fringe embellishment, as well as an orange wrap gown that gave the impression of a blouse tucked into a maxi skirt.
Trompe l’oeil effects also played a major role in the lineup, for example, in boxy blazers with detachable, shirt-like hems and cuffs and inlaid bustiers that seemed to be layered over shirts.
Draping, puffy ruffled details that framed the face as well as eye-catching applied pockets gave a distinctive look to suits and mixed-media dresses, while the final two-tone, plunging V-neck frock with a built-in obi belt seemed to be channeling the decadent, post-romantic trend that has been circulating in the fashion industry for the past few years since the establishment of Alessandro Michele’s kingdom at Gucci.
